Lack of trust, or mistrust, is a silent killer on most teams and in most family businesses. The problem is, as trust erodes, people don’t talk about it. People start withholding information, energy and communication. Before you know it, relationships go from being flexible and fluid to brittle and broken.

High performing teams must learn how to call out the “elephant in the room” – a lack of trust. Unfortunately trust can be a complicated subject. In our Family Business Playbook™ we have a simple drill that allows teams to further explore trust based upon three key elements of trust; reliability, competency and character.
